It seems everyone wants it all AND they expect to have it fall on their lap whenever they simply wish for it. I’ll be honest, I’m guilty of this mindset from time to time. But then I remind myself that rewards come to those who plan and work for them.

I get a lot of people asking me for advice on running, nutrition and the sort. They want to run a fast and pain-free marathon in a month without a base of running or lose 20 pounds in a month without any sacrifices. Sorry, it doesn’t happen that way. And a lot of people tune me out when I start talking about training plans or running four times a week or cutting out junk food and eating sensibly.

What makes us want it all without any real work? And to actually expect it? Or say one thing and do another, but that’s another entry for another day…

I also get a lot of people who tell me that I’m lucky to have my own company or to set my own schedule. Lucky I ask? Maybe these people don’t see all the work I do behind the scenes or the risks I take. Trust me, working 9 to 5 in an office is a lot safer and less worrisome than starting your own business. But not nearly as fun or exciting!

But it has nothing to do with luck I say…

The great thing with surrounding yourself with some great positive people is that you get to share their energy (and hopefully not suck it out of them). And you get to share resources. Like this wonderful link to a recent v-blog post by Robin Sharma, courtesy of Tania from yogaland.ca

Upcoming Events

Triathlon Coaching

As a certified ChiRunning® & Spinning® instructor, a Race Director and a Clydesdale athlete, I bring a diverse approach to coaching triathlon. I truly believe that being efficient and effective makes sure you get to the finish line and you cross it with a smile!

ChiRunning

As an avid runner that’s overcome a serious back injury, ChiRunning® is a natural fit for me. It’s really helped me bring joy back to running while making me a more efficient runner. I’ve described it as yoga-like and the "thinking man’s running". It makes you learn that everything truly comes from the core.

Golf Fitness

As a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Fitness Professional, I can look at your physical limitations and see how you can improve your fitness (strength, mobility and stability) so you can improve your golf swing. Making you fitter, more flexible and a better athlete will allow you to become a better golfer and most importantly, enjoy it more!

About Eric

What can I say? I’m a passionate individual who truly thinks that variety is the spice of life!

Don’t let my relaxed impression fool you; I’m very serious about my coaching. I’m a lifelong learner and a sponge when it comes to information that might help me. I’ve been told that I’m great at relating to people and coaching is a great way to transfer some knowledge and experience.
